Your page looks great because you have great skills and achievements to show. Remember that. You are getting A LOT of attention in HN, that will sure be picked up by another places on the interwebs.

So, my piece of advice: do not use this fame and fall in temptation to start capitalizaing solely on your personal brand, giving lectures, interviews, writing books on how to be hired by the hottest startups and other distractions. Keep focusing on working hard to build things. You are doing a great job on this so far. Congrats!

Your advice reminds me of advice Al Franken has seemingly taken in his political career so he can break through his image of being a class-clown.

Thank you @soneca a lot for your advice. I think you are right and I will remember it.

If you already know how to build simple things, why not write some books and get publicity if you have the chance? It would only increase demand for things that you are hoping to build in the future. I can build things like crazy and I'm still hoping to write a book...someday...

Before you write your own book, I would recommend taking an assessment of the number of books that are already out there and really making sure that you have something to say that isn't already being written about. 99% of books are trash. Don't write one unless you know it will help someone better than all those already existing books would.

Do you live in a fairy world? The point of writing and publishing books is TO MAKE MONEY. Nobody cares about your opinions.

Well, feel free to waste your life and time writing a book for money. I will be the first person in line to never buy such a book.
